On the Fruits of Austerity and Giving
Devanagari script
रम्यान् पद्मोत्यलधरान् सर्वर्तुकुसुमांस्तथा । विमानप्रतिमांश्वापि प्रासादान् शैलसंनिभान्,कहीं कमल और उत्पलसे भरे हुए रमणीय सरोवर शोभा पाते थे। कहीं पर्वत-सदूश ऊँचे-ऊँचे महल दिखायी देते थे जो विमानके आकारमें बने हुए थे। वहाँ सभी ऋतुओंके फूल खिले हुए थे
Translation
There were lovely pools, filled with lotuses and utpala-flowers, shining on every side. In other places appeared lofty palaces, mountain-like in height, fashioned in the form of vimānas. There too, the flowers of every season were in bloom.
